Overview

Activist is leading the development of an ambitious commercial strategy to take advantage of the exciting facilities being created by the Council’s new Civic Campus development. The new commercial strategy comprises several service offers operating in parallel across the refurbished Town Hall, Assembly Hall, hireable meeting spaces, a new Registrar’s suite and a new sixth floor restaurant and roof terrace. The strategy is based on three new businesses: venue and wedding hire; performing arts; and catering and hospitality.

Brilliant. Activist are highly motivated and focussed on supporting clients through providing excellent and informed advice. They are incredibly well organised and diligent in completing their brief, going that extra mile to deliver great results. It was a fantastic and extremely well-structured report. I’ll be sharing glowing reviews with my colleagues!

An enormous thank you for the work on the lockdown report. It was incredible how much was achieved against the clock! The report seemed to have a very enthusiastic response. It is not just me saying it’s a great report – you hit the jackpot by producing something of value to heads of service.
